Autopower cage is a good deal. On my GTV6, I spent just as much or more on materials alone... I don't even want to count the number of hours it took for a professional cage builder to fabricate and weld it in.

If you can, it would be good to slightly modifiy their design. For example, instead of a horizontal cross bar, use a x-brace. It makes climbing into and out of the car easier and really stiffens up the car. If the design doesn't have a horizontal bar that connects the left and right front A-pillars, I would add that in as well. I also make sure all the bars were meeting at a joint on the floor. As a simple, general rule, you want triangles, not rectangles.

Good luck.
